Heilung, the experimental Icelandic project led by Jarboe, Maria Franz and Kai Uwe Faust, is set to make a major statement. The group has confirmed that Sagas, their next album, is in preparation, signaling their return after an extended absence from recording.
The experimental collective returns with fresh ambition
Heilung has carved out a unique space by merging ancestral chants, ritualistic percussion and avant-garde textures into a hypnotic and visceral soundscape. Each of the trio’s endeavors represents a deep exploration of Norse tradition and extreme vocal expression. Sagas, a title evoking Scandinavian sagas, naturally fits within this strongly defined artistic vision.
The project is returning via Season of Mist, the label confirming the collective’s involvement in a new creative phase. With Sagas, listeners can anticipate a continuation of the alchemy between raw sonic violence and dark beauty that defines Heilung. Fans of immersive sonic rituals and experimental folk should find the dramatic intensity and epic atmosphere that characterizes the project intact.
